‏ Revelation of John 18:20

 Rejoice over her ( Ευφραινου επ' αυτη ). Present middle imperative of  ευφραινω, for which verb see 11:10, used there of the joy of the wicked over the death of the two witnesses, just the opposite picture to this. "The song of doom" (Charles) here seems to be voiced by John himself.

 God hath judged your judgment ( εκρινεν ο θεος το κριμα ). First aorist (prophetic) active of  κρινω and cognate accusative  κριμα, here a case for trial (Ex 18:22; 1Co 6:7), not a sentence as in 17:1. God has approved the case of heaven.
